Notes from Phil's Discussion


The seminal question of Jesus:

Who do I say I am?

How do we know ourselves?

What do we think, feel, wonder about - BELIVE! IMAGINE! SERVE!

Basketball scene from 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'


If you were appointed Director of Catholic Education in Sandhurst for 5 years:
What would your priorities be?
What do you think needs to be initiated?
What do you think needs to be cease?
What do you like to experience?

Key points from Phil's application
Identity & Governance - Serving the Mission - Baptismal Call
- Shared Wisdom
- Subsidiarity
- Stewardship
- Collaboration
- Co-Responsibility
- Discenment
- Collegiality
WORD & WORSHIP

Identity & Governance / Crisis or Opportunity? / What is worth fighting for?

TRANSITION!!!!
'.... stage of transition which requires a deep knowledge and treasuring of the Sandhurst culture, a strong understanding of governance at all levels and a capacity to see the continuing possibilities for growth and 'human flourishing in a deeply Christian understanding.' (Source of Life)

How do we keep what we are doing sustainable?

How are we serving the 'OTHER'?

Education for Life to the Full
- Education is liberation
- 'task of the educator is beyond the giving of new information to students, to bring them to the edge of their divine possibilities'

Excitement and Joy

Governance - Centrality of Baptismal Call

What's worth fighting for in Catholic Education?
